2011 Congressional Pet Photo Contest

Do you have the most distinguished dog? The most captivating cat? How about the handsomest horse? Then The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) invites you to take part in our 2011 Congressional Pet Photo Contest! The contest is a bi-pawtisan event to celebrate Washington’s furriest movers and shakers.

Eligible pets include dogs, cats, and horses who are the beloved companions of either Members of Congress or Congressional staff. Photo entries will be accepted from May 2 through May 20, 2011, and winners will be selected by a panel of independent judges.

[Photos will appear in PictoBrowser below]

To submit your photo: Simply fill out the form below*, upload a photo**, and let the debate begin!

*The information on the form is for contest purposes only – you will not be put on email, calling, or mailing lists.

**You may enter as many pets as you like, but only one photo per animal, please.

You can check out other pets' photos (whether or not you submit your own) by viewing the above slideshow or on our Flickr page.

The submission period for the photo contest is now closed. Winner’s for the Judged Categories will be announced at the June 14th, 2011 awards reception, so save the date.
